You want better hands, sweet dekes, and ankle breaking moves. Practice makes perfect, but what are you going to practice? The same old stickhandling drills get boring and you can't afford a private stickhandling instructor. Well.... you can now! DangleTime is your private stickhandling coach on your phone. Anytime you want to work on your stickhandling just pull out your phone and get training. The app keeps track of your "DangleTime" which is the amount of time you spend practicing using the app. This time can be shared and compared with friends. Who can get the highest DangleTime? The higher your DangleTime the more you can level up, go from a Duster to an All-Star! The app comes with 3 free training packs. Each training pack contains 8 stickhandling drills. When you select a training pack a drill will play for 20 seconds with a 10 second break and then the next drill will play until all drills in that pack have played. These times can be adjusted in the settings menu. If you'd like more stickhandling drills you can purchase them and continue to challenge yourself and improve your stickhandling. All drills are demonstrated by Jeremy Rupke from How To Hockey with plans to add new drill packs from more hockey instructors.
